Obama's Nuclear Security Summit, the Flat Tax, and Liberal Thinking
Tweet Share on Facebook April 27, 2010 Comment (2)The Real Problem With Nukes
The problem with the recent nuclear summit is that nothing is binding ["Reaching Critical Mass," April 16]. Our nuclear allies and nuclear foes can read this president like a book. It was all just smoke and mirrors, not hope and change.
LOUIS RUBEL Ft. Collins, Colo.
I am confident we could easily overpower any rogue nation with only conventional weapons. We should strive to eliminate nuclear weapons in all nations. The volcanic eruption in Iceland is a stark example of what would happen if nuclear bombs were dropped on an enemy. I hope and pray we are never that foolish.

Climate Change Debate and 'The Future of Energy'
Tweet Share on Facebook April 6, 2010 Comment (8)The Climate Change Debate
Is the earth warming ["The Future of Energy," April 2010]? Is the warming a result of mankind's use of carbon fuels? I'm not sure anyone knows. But the questions are moot. We in the United States are squandering gasoline and diesel fuel. Oil is not unlimited. We must use it frugally. In addition, importing such large amounts of oil from other countries is unwise—we just can't afford it. Actions that might be taken by those espousing man-made climate change, such as cap-and-trade, will increase the cost of gasoline and diesel, and that will be good for the U.S.A. Those fuels have been far too inexpensive for years.
